What Wikipedia says

Limited atonement (also called definite atonement or particular redemption) is a doctrine in Reformed theology holding that Christ's substitutionary atonement was specifically and effectively aimed at securing the salvation of the elect alone, rather than being merely hypothetically available to all humanity.
